I've been a Protection 1 user for eight years. I had an install tech help me out with the installation of their device. They were very knowledgeable and courteous. Their web and mobile controls are great, especially their mobile. Also, their customer service team have always been very prompt and courteous. Overall, it's been a good experience.

With Protection 1, I was originally pleased but currently disappointed. We've just bought the house not too long ago, and we had extremely huge problems with Protection 1 for about six months of being here. We've only been here less than a year and it's been horrible getting it connected. I took two days off work to get it installed and no one showed up, also way past when the service was scheduled the second time. The alarm kept going off. They charged me for a part that nobody told me they're going to. Other than that, our experience has been fine. After having to call and talk to numerous people, I got most of it resolved. If we weren't under a contract, we would have switched because this is unacceptable for the amount of the money we pay. I expressed it and I asked the manager to call me, who never did. They didn't seem to care.

I use Protection 1 in my office. The installation there was good, while the one at home could have been a little better. There were some parts missing which their technician didn't come with, but I ended up getting a whole new system, a different type of system which turned out to be better because it was a bit more updated technology-wise. Although it wasn't what I had expected, in the end, it turned out okay. I use the mobile controls all the time, and it's convenient.
I had my front door replaced about a month and a half ago, and I had to remove a sensor and put it back on the new front door. My experience with that was a little less than I had expected. Normally Protection 1 is pretty good at customer service, but the guy that I was placed with on the phone wasn't enunciating and I had to have him repeat a couple of times. At one point, I asked him to stop and just talk slow because I really didn't understand what he was saying. But other than that, I've enjoyed my time with Protection 1, and the reason why I used them in my home is because I've had a pleasant experience at the office.

I had a Protection 1 rep come out and install my device for me. My wife has their mobile controls on her phone and it's awesome. It has been a good experience working with Protection 1's customer service team. I appreciate how responsive they are. One thing I like about them is they don't wear you out with telemarketing calls. We used to have someone else for a security system and it seemed like we were always getting hammered with new services and whatnot from them. I don't mind every once in a while, but Protection 1 doesn't do that and I like it.

I've used Protection 1 before, and have been using them for a couple of years now. The last installation was quite difficult. When we moved, I put in an order for a new equipment, and they sent out the wrong equipment with the tech. The tech tried to resolve it, and they thought they sent out the correct equipment the second time around, but they still haven't. So the third time around, he came back and he still didn't have the right one, but he said he was going to stay until he got all the right items in to install it, which was done eventually. I wasn't happy with the sales staff and some of the customer service who followed up, but the tech who came to resolve the problem was really good.

We've been with Protection 1 for four years. They're courteous and professional, but they're not on time. I put in a service request for something, and it's been a week and nobody has called me to even say if they're coming to fix the problem or not. That's not the kind of service I expect from Protection 1.

We got Protection 1 for our other house about five years ago. I feel better that the house is protected when I go away. We got it again for the new house that we bought and my wife had a very good experience with the young man who came out and installed it. He was very friendly and helpful. He walked her through some of the steps. Additionally, I’ve had to call their customer service a couple of times and I had a good experience with them, too. I have recommended Protection 1.

We've been very happy with Protection 1. We've had two devices, had Protection 1 install them both, and they're wonderful both times.

The system from Protection 1 was out when the power was out, but other than that it's been good. It has been in our old house for several years. We used to have other security provider but it went out of business. We didn't have the upgrade then, but what we have with Protection 1 is more modern. I had their mobile app in my old phone but when I dropped it, I didn't put it back on my new one. It would probably be nice to have it and have access to the system anytime from anywhere. We're happy with it.

I've used Protection 1 as my home security since 2003 and I went with them because they're part of the homeowners association and I get some extra services from them. The system has been working for over 10 years, and I upgrade it with technology as it comes along - I upgraded to the web and mobile controls. I'm now more aware of my security since it's on my phone. So, if somebody forgets to turn the system on, I turn it on remotely when I'm not here. In addition, the team at Protection 1 come out to my house, fix the system, and do everything they need to do to make the system work whenever it has gone down.

Years ago, we switched from our other security system to Protection 1. The old one locked us into a 5-year contract which was annoying, and we could never reach anybody when we needed to. When stuff broke, we were charged ridiculous amounts of money to replace it. We haven't had any of those problems with Protection 1.
Everything was fine when the device was installed at our old house. When it got installed at our new house, however, we were overcharged some things. I had to call a couple of times to get it taken care of. I've been meaning to call Protection 1 since we moved as I can't access our alarm system through my app anymore. I have to arm it on the actual panel in the house, which is super annoying. I have tried contacting their customer service and I sat on hold too long and I gave up, that's why it hasn't gotten taken care of yet.
Before we moved, the mobile access was super convenient. I never had to worry about forgetting to set the alarm because I could do it from my phone. I didn't have to worry about leaving it unarmed for a babysitter or a dog walker to come into the house. I could disarm and arm it myself from wherever I was and that was awesome. I would like the apps to be working for me.

We just moved in June and that's when we got our new Protection 1 system. We have the do-it-yourself device although we haven't started on it yet since we're working on a bunch of other home projects. Plus, we need to call and have someone walk us through it because we're having some issues with it, like the sensors and our doorjamb. What's frustrating now is that my understanding was we wouldn't be charged until the system is actually up and running. But they already took three months’ worth out of my checking account without letting me know, so I had to call and try to get that money back. I haven't set up the system yet but I'm already paying for it every month now, so it's been a waste.

Protection 1 has been my security provider for 3 years now. It gives me more peace of mind and I know if somebody comes in my house, I’m going to know about it. I’ve enjoyed the comfort of knowing that my house is protected when I’m not there. Then when I am there, I have an early morning alert to know that I have an intruder in my house. The mobile controls make it convenient for me to access the system. Protection 1 is easy to work with and has great customer service and friendly staff. They’ve always been very helpful, polite, courteous, and wiling to assist.

There were a couple of break-ins in the neighborhood and I feel safer having Protection 1. Also, I got a little one that's home and in case he opens the door, I can hear the beep. It was a combination of the equipment that they offered with the plan that I got and the monthly fee and the coverage that I chose them over other providers. The installation was easy but I did have some equipment fail after a couple of weeks. They came out quickly and took care of it. Getting hold of them is easy too. They always answer within three rings and I always get a person.
Remote access is vital. I have the control on my phone and from time to time I turn it on and off from there. But there's one thing, they should not charge extra for the monitoring of additional sensors. I completely understand paying extra for the sensors themselves but all they're doing is monitoring the home-based station. It doesn't make sense to pay extra. Other than that, I like it overall.

The salesman from Protection 1 who came was very nice. We enjoyed him very much. He is very good for the company and very helpful. The device went off a couple times.

I'd recommend Protection 1.

My company was with Protection 1 for 6 years. Not one time did anyone ever come out to do service. When we started having problems with the alarm, still no one came out. Then when we had enough and switched services, we received two more bills AFTER THAT DATE. Do not waste your time or your trust with these people. Especially avoid Melissa, Eric, and Rick in the customer service department. P.S. When Protection 1 sent their technician to pick up the equipment that was here (the only time they came here since the installation), the P1 Tech complimented us on the new panel we had had installed by their competition.

They've always been cooperative whenever I had a problem with the battery or a sensor going off. They call and we've always managed to get to the bottom of it quickly and easily. I like that anybody that I've talked to on the phone was professional and has a great attitude. I've recommended them to many of my friends already.

When I moved in, the previous owners had Protection 1 so I went with them. When the technicians installed the device, it was easy. Plus I like the web and mobile controls. I use them all the time. However, the only sensors I got from them are for my doors. So if the bad guy slides the door, I'm good to go. But if he slides some of the windows, I'm pretty much toast. Also, trying to find a decent number to call their customer service was a pain in the butt. They have all that crap at the website but all I want is a simple number. "Call this for the help desk." That's what I'm looking for. If they could do that, it would be great.
Since I had the system installed, the kids now ask to go out. I've had the system for two years and haven't had much experience with other companies. However, I do know that ADT provides better service than Protection 1. The house I moved in this time had ADT and they provided downstairs window sensors on all windows. Protection 1 gave me door sensors and a motion detector, too, which ADT did the same. So Protection 1 may be lacking in some departments. I've also been looking at Time Warner and they offer that live streaming stuff that lets you look into your house real time which is nice versus the still shots I get from Protection 1.

I’ve been using Protection 1 for probably 5 years and I feel safer having it. However, we had difficulty during installation because one of the products wasn’t done on the initial install, and the techs didn’t realize it until they were gone. Apparently, it was on back order. But we had two or three appointments that were blocked off for four hours that they didn’t call us or show up. I told them I didn’t want it anymore but my husband said he would deal with it, so they came when he was here. Other than the issue with the technician, anytime I call Protection 1, it's all been good. They're friendly and quick to notify us anytime our alarm goes off. If they couldn’t answer my questions, they get me to the right place. I like that I am able to access and control the system remotely. It’s convenient on me. I would recommend Protection 1.

It was a great experience though because they came out right away. Also, they apprehended one of the burglars because one of the technicians of Protection 1 saw some blood on my door that the police didn't see. They ran the blood through the system CODIS and they busted them. Also, Protection 1's always been on top of making any kind of repairs or letting me know about the new technology that's out there.

Our corporate office said we’re going to use Protection 1. We said yes and it’s been going a lot better than who we were previously using.

The engineers were awesome who came out to do the leg work. They showed their badges before they came in the house and wore booties. They did a thorough walk-through and gave me their card if I ever had any questions. They were also not pushy, unlike my TV provider that calls me all the time and try to get me upgrade my package. Protection 1 understood and only did what's best for me and my family. Also, when I made appointments, they were really nice. When I moved homes, Mike, the same guy I'd talk to, has also been really helpful. He put our thing on hold for four months because we were doing a renovation. So, instead of closing it down and reopening me, he kept me as an old client to save me a bunch of money.
In addition, if we're traveling and I have somebody come in to walk the dog out, I use the mobile app to turn the alarm off so I don't have to give away my code to people.

I called the guy who did the contract and he said he's going to take me off the payment and get me set up. But then, he tells me a different price. When I called back, they said they can't fix it because it's not usually done with that price. I've been charged $10 extra and it's supposed to be $10 less. That's still not straightened out and I can't get nobody. I’m not so happy with them at all for the last several months. At this point, I wouldn't recommend them but they're not that bad.

We've been a Protection 1 user for over 5 years. We got them based on a relative's recommendation. I was satisfied with the installation since the installer did most of the work and if I had to do anything, it was very easy. Their web and mobile control is very useful. Our lives have been simpler dealing with the security system. It's simple and satisfactory. I also like that I can buy proprietary equipment as an individual thus making it easier to install without having to contact customer service.

The people that I bought the house from had Monitronics but I decided to use Protection 1 because I’ve used them before and I never had any problems. The installers all did was come out and change the panel. I know a lot of people in our area don’t have security, but with Protection 1, I feel better to lie down and go to sleep at night. It is a mechanism to have for me to feel safe whenever I leave and come back. Because if I leave and I set it, and I come back at night or anytime and it’s not on, then I know not to come in because something went haywire. So at least not come in without somebody else with me. All in all, I would recommend them. I’ve not had any problems at all.

We've been pleased with Protection 1. We've moved into our new house in Visalia and had a couple of break-ins around the neighborhood. We thought maybe it's time we did something. My daughter already has Protection 1 so we used them too. And then my wife died and I got remarried. My second wife used to be with ADT. What I found disappointing about Protection 1 was I know that I was in contract for two years, but since my wife had ADT, I wanted to drop Protection 1. They wouldn't let me and that was frustrating. So I just continued to pay for it. When we decided to have a house of our own and we moved, we kept Protection 1 because my wife could already drop ADT because her contract was up. Obviously when circumstances change and you have a death, I think Protection 1 should have been a little more understanding of that.
Other than that, it has worked out really well. We've filed a couple of false alarms, though, because we got a couple of dogs that go in and out of the house and set things off. They readjusted it a little bit but it went off again. So, what we do now is just put STAY, and that way if somebody opens the door, it'll still go off.

I've had a hard experience with Protection 1. When I moved into my new home, it was existing. It was very difficult to acquire the system and to take over the contract. Once I got in, I didn't receive what I was promised. So then I was calling different people, trying to get it straightened out. That was the first year I was in there and they had to switch out the channel. They didn't switch that and I wanted the panel upstairs. They wanted to do something different because it was a wireless. I didn't want the wireless in my home, I wanted to hardwire it but they said they couldn't do it. It took about a year before they put it in there.
Then there were issues back and forth. I was getting charged for things that I didn't have - stuff that wasn't working. They had to go switch this out, and they would take a while. Sometimes they come very late for the appointment or wouldn't make it in some instances. I received credit but it's just difficult. Now, I have a hole in the wall which I called about and told them that somebody needs to come out and repair it. They said they don't do that, then they said they're sending somebody. But then after that, I didn't hear from them.
I also put the whole wireless system on the other rental property I have and it's from a different branch. We're having issues with the batteries and some other stuff but we got that situated. It's better over there than at my house and that one works better. It's like night and day. You call them there, usually Johnny-on-the-spot, they talk to you and get things resolved. But with the other branch I am dealing with, it's been as task ever since I started with them.

Our experience with Protection 1 was fabulous! We've had them for four years now. We used them in our studio, our previous house, and then when we recently moved over to our new house, we decided to keep them. We switched over to Protection 1 from our previous provider, ADT. Bad experience with ADT -- couldn't provide the service that we needed and then they would not fix our contract. Took six months to get ADT to stop billing us even after we had put our contract off. But my husband is friends with the regional manager for Protection 1 here and they offered us a much better service.
The tech came in to install the device and got right down to business. It was a pretty extensive install and professionally done. We had a light gun and the tech knew how to do it all. Now we use both the interactive web as well as the mobile controls frequently and the keypads to lock and unlock the doors, and assign codes to various people so we know who's coming and going. We've had false alarms and the team members at Protection 1 have always been very professional through the device in the wall and in their follow-up phone calls. They're great!

I’ve had Protection 1 for quite some time now. I got properties in Minnesota and I have Protection 1 installed in those. Their team communicated well, explained what they did in detail, and I was pleased with the results. I like the mobile app and that I could turn the system on and off from my cell phone. I actually need to get that for my home unit. I added some features that are not part of Protection 1, but I’m satisfied with my experience with them.

At the time I chose Protection 1, there were only a few options, and it was them who had the best price. They were also community-located and could do the installation quickly. We just purchased a property then and we had them install an alarm system in it. It’s amazing to have the web and mobile controls. It’s much easier to use the alarm system especially given the current design. It used to be all wired. They were installed in the house and the monitoring unit is hidden somewhere else. With the wireless systems, the monitoring unit is in the panel so I don’t want to put it in a place that has easy access to the front door, but at the same time, I want to be able to disarm it easily. It lets me put the panel somewhere secluded and use the phone for access.

I’ve been a Protection 1 customer for eight years. When I first moved into my new home in Alabama, it was one of the vendors that was recommended to me. Installing the security device was more of a hassle than troublesome, but still it went fine. I have a young baby, so I’m trying to get the time to do it and get it to work. I have used their web controls, and it's fantastic to be able to access our system at any time from anywhere.
Talking to their team was great, but transferring my account from Connecticut to North Carolina wasn’t so. I’ve been their customer for a very long time but because of work commitments, I had relocated from Alabama to Connecticut and unfortunately, within months, I came back to North Carolina. I dealt with an individual who keeps saying I was locked into a contract and I can always buy them out but $400 wasn’t good enough for me. Other than that, the service has always been great.

We've been using Protection 1 for many years and we had a horrible experience with its installation. Our house was brand new and pre-wired for a security system when we bought it. All the wires were by the doors for control panels but there was no actual security hardware in place. Protection 1 sent out a young guy who didn't appear to be new to installation but was probably the stupidest person I've ever had try to install something in my home. He didn't know what he was doing and caused damage to my house. He put a hole in the wall because he wanted to look and see where the wires were. It was nowhere where a keypad would go. And he finally had to call his supervisor to come up and help him. The installation that was supposed to take one day took two and a half, and they never fixed the hole in the wall despite repeated phone calls. They promised they were going to fix it. I ended up paying for it myself.
We also had an issue a few years ago where we had an alarm go off but they never called. We were actually home at the time. When I called to tell them that it was a false alarm, the person told me, “Oh, yeah, Friday nights, we just kind of assume they’re false alarms.” I was like, “Oh, really? No one breaks into houses on Friday nights?” But there's a couple of times when police had to come. It was false alarm again and we weren't home. On those instances, they responded quickly. Also, their web and mobile controls are easy to use. When they first brought it out, it was cumbersome but the last time I tried using it, it was simple enough to use.
